Examinations/Certificates

RPSGT Examination

The Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) Examination assesses the professional competence of practitioners performing polysomnography and associated therapeutic interventions. The Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists™ (BRPT) credentialing program is accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA).

CPSGT Certificate

The Certificate Examination for Polysomnographic Technicians is a certificate-level exam. The new exam will be designated the “CPSGT” exam, and a certificate holder will be a “Certified Polysomnographic Technician.” The new certificate will not be a prerequisite to sitting for the RPSGT exam, but rather is being offered as an entry-level certificate for those entering the sleep technology profession. The certificate will be time-limited and valid for three years/36 months, within which time a certificate holder must earn the RPSGT credential, or the CPSGT certificate expires.
